Provider-Based Entities: A Guide to Regulatory and Billing Compliance, Second Edition

Gina M. Reese, RN, JD, CPHRM

Provider-Based Entities: A Guide to Regulatory and Billing Compliance, Second Edition, is a comprehensive guide to provider-based departments, including qualifying under CMS, unique billing and coding rules, and the business decisions behind owning or acquiring a provider-based clinic. It explains the effect an entity’s location and services have on its ability to operate and attest as provider-based and covers threshold requirements for this unique provider type, as well as more stringent requirements for off-campus clinics and departments.

This book breaks down complex Medicare coverage requirements and provides insight about recent coding and billing changes, including the introduction and use of modifiers -PO and -PN, new place of service codes, billing for excepted and nonexcepted off-campus clinics and departments, and determining excepted and nonexcepted status. It also offers practical advice for helping patients understand the relationship between hospitals and provider-based entities and how this may affect treatment and services.
